# mcpx-py
[![PyPI](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/mcpx-py)](https://pypi.org/project/mcpx-py/)

A Python library for interacting with LLMs using mcp.run tools

## Features

### AI Provider Support

`mcpx-py` supports all models supported by [PydanticAI](https://ai.pydantic.dev/models/)

## Dependencies

- `uv`
- `npm`
- `ollama` (optional)

## mcp.run Setup

You will need to get an mcp.run session ID by running:

```bash
npx --yes -p @dylibso/mcpx gen-session --write
```

This will generate a new session and write the session ID to a configuration file that can be used
by `mcpx-py`.
 
If you need to store the session ID in  an environment variable you can run `gen-session`
without the `--write` flag:

```bash
npx --yes -p @dylibso/mcpx gen-session
```

which should output something like:

```
Login successful!
Session: kabA7w6qH58H7kKOQ5su4v3bX_CeFn4k.Y4l/s/9dQwkjv9r8t/xZFjsn2fkLzf+tkve89P1vKhQ
```

Then set the `MPC_RUN_SESSION_ID` environment variable:

```
$ export MCP_RUN_SESSION_ID=kabA7w6qH58H7kKOQ5su4v3bX_CeFn4k.Y4l/s/9dQwkjv9r8t/xZFjsn2fkLzf+tkve89P1vKhQ
```

## Python Usage

### Installation

Using `uv`:

```bash
uv add mcpx-py
```

Or `pip`:

```bash
pip install mcpx-py
```

### Example code

```python
from mcpx_py import Chat

llm = Chat("claude-3-5-sonnet-latest")

# Or OpenAI
# llm = Chat("gpt-4o")

# Or Ollama
# llm = Chat("ollama:qwen2.5")

# Or Gemini
# llm = Chat("gemini-2.0-flash")

response = llm.send_message_sync(
    "summarize the contents of example.com"
)
print(response.data)
```

It's also possible to get structured output by setting `result_type`

```python
from mcpx_py import Chat, BaseModel, Field
from typing import List

class Summary(BaseModel):
    """
    A summary of some longer text
    """
    source: str = Field("The source of the original_text")
    original_text: str = Field("The original text to be summarized")
    items: List[str] = Field("A list of summary points")

llm = Chat("claude-3-5-sonnet-latest", result_type=Summary)
response = llm.send_message_sync(
    "summarize the contents of example.com"
)
print(response.data)
```

More examples can be found in the [examples/](https://github.com/dylibso/mcpx-py/tree/main/examples) directory

##### Ollama
1. Install Ollama from https://ollama.ai
2. Pull your desired model: `ollama pull llama3.2`
3. No API key needed - runs locally

##### Llamafile
1. Download a Llamafile model from https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile/releases
2. Make the file executable: `chmod +x your-model.llamafile`
3. Run in JSON API mode: `./your-model.llamafile --json-api --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8080`
